Does it take longer to carbonate a full 5 gal Cornelius keg vs. one that is say half full? It seems to me it wouldn't matter, since at any volume level, there is still the same amount of liquid surface area in contact with the CO2 gas. A full keg ofcourse has less headspace, but isn't the pressure always going to remain the same even at different headspace levels?
My current practice is to fill my kegs up to about an inch below the "gas in" tube. I carbonate and serve at 15psi around 38F, so basically set it and forget it. As a homebrewer I'm familar with the rewards of patience and time, but it still seems to take forever, like about a month, before a keg is completely carbed resulting in very fine bubbles in the glass.
